Vanlife cooking doesn't have to be daunting! Cheap, easy, and fast meals are always ready to go in my van because honestly, sometimes I ignore my hungry to to point where I get hangry- then its an immediate count down for food. My Vanlife kitchen tour is also included in here! I prefer to cook inside so no extra eyes are on me, but I love having the choice to cook outside with more room if I choose to. Cooking essentials for vanlife are honestly just the cheap things in the store already: cans, oil, spices, and fresh fruist/vegs - so lucky us! I hope you enjoy these recipes, and if you wan to see more cooking budget videos for the road- let me know!

Eggs and sweet potato, perfect sweet and savory!

A no cook black bean salad: Black beans {drained and rinsed}, Onion.{chopped}, Shredded cheese, and Zesty Italian dressing, Mix in a bowl and let set for 30 minutes. Wonderful and NO cooking required Can be put in a tortilla shell Add salsa and sour cream to taste.

Can of drained corn is good to add too. Plus diced red onion yummy!!

Hey there! I like your kitchen set up, and the fact you can sit right there and eat. I know you were in a hurry so this tip might not always apply, but you were 100% right about cooking with a kid covering your pot/pan when you want to soften potatoes, onions, cabbage etc. and just turn your heat down a little. I really liked these basic recipes, that don’t have a bunch of hard to find or pretentious ingredients. One of my favorite dishes is to cut 1/2 a cabbage (when it’s just me) 1/2 an onion, and wash and cut, leaving the skin on, one potato of your choosing although I’ve never tried it with sweet potato 🍠…yet, but now I’m intrigued. Just do your oil on the bottom, warm it on medium heat, add your chopped veggies, S&P, garlic, and whatever other spices strike your fancy, like turmeric, a dash of curry, more pepper, season salt, or Mrs. Dash. Cook covered, only opening to flip the bottom ingredients to the top, and top to the bottom so everything gets a little caramelization. Once your potatoes are tender it’s done. I bet it would be good to swap the garbanzo beans with potatoes, or that could be another dish with the other half a head of cabbage. Happy trails 🌺 Edit…not kid LID, I mean you COULD cook with a kid, but it’s gonna get sweaty!

@williamsuttle3645 2 года назад

Sweet potatoes aren't sweet unless they are baked in the oven- they are great that way, only add butter. Back to your recipe, cook the potatoes first (like you said, with water), once the water cooks off then add onion, then egg. But I know you know that. I really like your rig, I need to do the back of my truck like that.

@rhylin26 2 года назад

I've read onions are very bad for your dog. Maybe not give her any until reading up on it. No onions, no grapes and of course no cooked chicken bones. She's super adorable

@tartanrambo 2 года назад

These little gas stoves are great for micro-campers. My only niggle, and I see you have the same issue, is flame/heat adjustment. It's just not sensitive enough to cook anything gently. I'm searching for a hack for this. If I find one I'll come back and share!

You might want to sauté onions, red papers, fresh garlic, cilantro. This combination is very taste. Afina cannot eat onions or garlic.

@rejn1420 2 года назад

Yep washing beans is totally stupid. I don’t know who started that idea. Bean water is called aqua fava And people cook with it!

@krisandbrandyblomquist3364 3 месяца назад

It came about because canned beans often had salt added to the water (aquafaba). Many docs and nutritionists recommend rinsing that off to lower the sodium if you need to watch your sodium intake due to hypertension or whatever.

@rejn1420 3 месяца назад

@@krisandbrandyblomquist3364 of course there may be salt added, or you can get beans with no salt or salt, but if there is salt, you can simply not salt when the recipe calls for it and then add salt later. It’s all kind of irrelevant now because it seems like nobody cooks anymore in the US anyway even people like me eat out every day. so it seems it’s only the homeless, me,, and foodies that are still cooking. :-) Especially beans.

@kimdagnillo8246 2 года назад

Try a small insta pot / pressure cooker , makes delicious rice, sweet potatoes and dried beans too . Cooks fast and infuses flavor , you can sauté in it also, just need a 500 or bigger watt power station to plug into.

Try adding a pineapple chunks to the sweet potato and onion with some brown sugar and butter or oil of your choice. It is very tasty.

@Kimberley_Black_White_TV 2 года назад

You don’t have to wash canned beans. Dry beans, yes. Mainly to remove any dirtiness.

Onions and garlic! Washing beans makes them less gassy. Cute video.

@ilianadiaz8039 2 года назад

You might want to cook a little extra and put the mix in your cooler, then just heat up in your next meal, it’s quicker.

@ritawilliams3788 2 года назад

You need to cut the sweet potatoes and small chunks very small and they will cook faster it was just too big

@TheAdventureCloset 2 года назад

Washing the beans went out the window for us because it uses up precious water. Still alive, but we should probably stop being lazy and wash our beans even though we hate refilling the water storage. Lol

@TheAdventureCloset 2 года назад

Great realistic vanlife meals btw!

@madisonraetogo 2 года назад

that makes sense! as long as it dosent kill us, skipping the washing part isn't so bad!

@shoshana5357 2 года назад

You were worried about dogs eating garbanzo beans which are fine but onion and garlic are super bad for them and you put that in everything you made, so I hope you give your cute doggo her own stuff without that.

The goo that is drained from the chickpeas (and other legumes? Have to double check that) is called aquafaba and can be used as vegan egg replacement in some recipes. Sounds odd, but it is really a thing. 🌸🌸🌸

@robinwilson8435 2 года назад

Dogs can have chickpeas but not if you added onion powder! Add quinoa and some parsley (dry or fresh). Saute foods in water or broth for far fewer calories. Black beans are great with sweet potatoes. Vegans could sub Tofu for the egg in your second recipe, with some turmeric and a little black salt.

Nice! All simple and cheap! I am definitely a meat eater, but I would totally eat and enjoy one of those tacos (more so if I had cheese!) Also, speaking from experience, it's always good to have some kind of canned food like that which will keep pretty much forever and is versatile.

People don't like to use too many pot, because of washing issue. So use empty cann or wrapper of 🍟 chip, don't throw it ,use it for mixing ingredients. Throw after use. You will not have too many pot to clean. Cut ✂️ it a d use at base of grading vegetables. Jay bharat.

@sunitadwarka347 3 месяца назад

I am giving you one suggestion for making rice or maize or semolina or millet cake in the same pan. You take aluminum cann, cut it like ring. Take cheakpeas can ,mean little larger cann , you put maize with spice and herb. Add water to flour. You put aluminum ring in the middle of pan pour the liquid flour with herb. Cover it with cheakpeas cann mean little larger cann. Heat will remain trap ,with steam it will cook, after some time turn it. Use knife 🔪 to remove cake from ring. Use remaining part of pan for grilling other article. With time you will become expert in cooking. Grade carrot ,reddish, round cabbage for adding in flour, each flour have different test. It doesn't rot easily only it dry. You will not loose money. Jay bharat.

What state do you vanlife in? I'm thinking of Cali if it's still doable. Hear they are cracking down

@davidwaterhouse2552 Год назад

I definitely would have fried some chopped Onion, Peppers, and perhaps near the end add a little chopped Chestnut mushrooms to make that 'Chickpea dish' a bit more interesting, and maybe a small piece of soda bread or ciabatta? The second dish, I would 'par boil' and (season) the sweet potato for maybe five minutes before frying, again 'chestnut mushrooms' would be a good addition late in the cooking process. Third dish; wash the beans!!!! Or make sure you park next to a toilet! Your channel is GREAT you are Beautiful and so is 'Athena' ! Please can you send a link to those compact spice rack containers? Many thanks dx

Genuine swiss muesli....the real muesli...which was actually invented in Switzerland. Just about any kind of fruit will do...but this is the very basic recipe you can add whatever you like......no actual measurements required...but here is a basic... 2 apples cred and grated....or finely chopped.1 cup raw oats.1 canfruit cocktail with juice. Half cup chopped nuts....the usual is walnuts,but I've used shelled sunflower seeds too....2 bananas chopped. 2 cups of different flavored yogurts. Mix together and add milk to thin it out....make it as thick or thin as you wish...dried fruits are good too

Or the Native American take on the same: Corn and Beans, esp. nixtamalized* corn which increases bioavailability of niacin, and increased calcium intake (because of absorption of calcium during the nixtamalization process). *Think hominy, and the corn used to make corn tortillas.

Notice that when you sprinkle the seasoning the air blows it into your puppy's face. She's adorable but, too close to your stove and the airblown seasoning. My Chihuahua loves all beans... especially Garbanzos ..... I always offer her the washed beans, straight from the can BEFORE I season them.... She gets first dibs on everything we eat.
